Who Wins the Annie vs Maokai Matchup?

Annie vs Maokai Matchup Summary
The Annie vs Maokai matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Maokai wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Annie's 40.0%, giving Maokai a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Maokai controls the early laning stage, but Annie outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Maokai needs to press advantages before Annie reaches their power spikes, while Annie should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Maokai leads by 1,497 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Maokai has a strong advantage in this matchup. Annie players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Maokai overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Early Game vs Late Game
Maokai dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Annie. This lopsided early game means Maokai can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.
Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Annie at 50.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Maokai. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.
